Chapter 355: Ghost Gate Pass, Huangquan Road, Wangchuan River
gate of hell!
A name that sounds very scary.
This gate of hell was a city gate set up by Taoist Hongjun during the time of conferring gods to separate Yin and Yang and isolate life and death.
It is said to be a city gate, but it is also a rare treasure. It is divided into southeast, northwest and four ghost gates, one for each of the four continents.
As the saying goes, after death, people enter the underworld and cross the gate of hell. The gate of hell is the place where Yin people are reincarnated and Yang people return to their souls.
Everyone knows about the Gate of Hell, but they don’t know where it is. It seems that the Gate of Hell moves around and has no fixed place.
Only the black and white impermanence of yin and yang and the ghosts of the underworld can we know where they are.
However, every year on the first day of the seventh lunar month is the day when the "ghost gate" opens. From the first day of the seventh lunar month, the ghost gate opens to the 30th day when the ghost gate closes.
Every year on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, there is a ghost festival, which is called the Ghost Festival. This ghost festival is called "Hungry Ghost Festival" by Taoism and "Obon Festival" by Buddhism.
The gate of hell is wide open, and when the yin and yang communicate, groups of ghosts appear and appear. Only then can there be traces of the gate of hell.
Yang Tuo has profound spiritual practice and noble status, so he is different from ordinary people. He can easily find the location of the gate of hell.
Among the four ghost gates, the ghost gate in Beiju Luzhou was under his control, but he did not want to enter from Beiju Luzhou.
The northern hell is not yet under his control. Now, many parties are involved, forming a relatively stable situation.
He was afraid that once he showed up, he would stir up huge waves and cause turmoil in the underworld. Once the underworld was in turmoil, it would affect reincarnation, which would be very detrimental to him.
As for the ghost gates of Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou, one is under the governance of the Taoist sect, and the other is under the control of the Buddhist sect.
Although he has a good relationship with Taoism and Buddhism, he is not willing to put his own path under the control of others.
Only Nanfangbu Continent and Guimen Pass are under the rule of Heaven. Moreover, Nanfangbu Continent is the base camp of the human race, so it is the best choice.
Yang Tuo didn't want to attract attention, so he planned to sneak into the underworld while the gate of hell was wide open.
Therefore, I just said goodbye to God Haotian because I didn’t want to miss this day when the gates of hell will be opened.
If he reveals his true form, all the Yamas in the ten palaces of the underworld will personally greet him. At that time, he may attract the attention of people in the three realms, which is very inappropriate.
Yang Tuo stepped on the auspicious clouds and floated in the air, hiding his traces. He looked at the gloomy city below.
I saw a big sign hanging on the city gate, which read "Pyrrhus Underworld Gate Pass" in seven big gold characters.
This Guimen Pass is said to be a pass, but in fact it is like a city. In the city below, there are gusts of sinister wind and dots of will-o'-the-wisps.
Although the whole of July is the day when the gate of hell is open, it is not until July 14th that the gate of hell is really opened.
However, Yang Tuo did not intend to wait until that time. With his cultivation, even if the gate of hell only opened a small gap, he could still be sent into the netherworld without anyone noticing.
Now, although it is only the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, there are already many newly dead ghosts gathered in the city who have returned to the earth to reunite with their relatives and fulfill their wishes.
There are also many homeless and lonely ghosts wandering in the city.
For a moment, the ghost gate was full of people, and it looked like it was bustling with people. But if you look closely, there was no sound coming out, which made it look scary and weird.
However, Yang Tuo couldn't feel anything scary at all. His mind at this time was already attracted by a door leading directly to the netherworld deep in the gate of hell.
In the half-opened door, countless Yin Qi, Nether Qi, Huangquan Qi, Jiuyou Qi, and other extremely Yin and cold Qi in the netherworld surged out from the door.
It blends with the Yang Qi of the human world, the Qi of the sun, the Qi of lights and other Yang Qi.
In front of the ghost gate, yin and yang meet, and there is chaos. Even if one has the eyes to reach the sky, it is difficult to see the mystery.
The combination of yin and yang creates creation!
This gate of hell is wide open, allowing the yin energy in the underworld to merge with the yang energy in the human world, which can alleviate the cold pain of the underworld.
As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot arise, solitary yang cannot grow. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony. Only when yin and yang are combined, can the great road be formed.
Therefore, the gate of hell opens regularly to communicate Yin and Yang. If Yin and Yang are not separated, creation will not occur.
At this time, the gate of hell was in chaos, and even Yang Tuo had difficulty spying on what was going on behind the gate.
Yang Tuo used his magic power and turned his body into an invisible smoke, drifting towards the chaotic crack in the door.
The ghost soldiers guarding the left and right sides of the gate were not aware of it at all.
Yang Tuo passed through the Guimen Pass, and a small road led directly from the Guimen Pass to the depths of the netherworld.
Both sides of the road were chaotic and unclear, covered by a thin layer of fog. The road was winding and winding, with no end in sight.
This is the road leading to the underworld!
At this time, the sky and the earth were covered in gray, and the whole world seemed to be only black and white, without any color.
Yang Tuo stood in the middle of the road and looked up. In the fog on both sides of the road, dots of fiery red light occasionally shined through.
It was a flaming red lotus, like flames burning and blood rolling.
Yang Tuo moved forward slowly, and as he went deeper, the fiery red light became more and more intense, and even the mist could not cover it up.
Gradually, large tracts of flowers bloomed on both sides of the road. From a distance, they looked like a carpet paved with blood.
Its petals are like blood and fire, and the red light they reveal becomes the only color between heaven and earth, like a "road illuminated by fire."
Yang Tuo knew that it was the legendary Flower of the Other Shore, also known as the "Flower of Reception." The new souls of the dead followed the guidance of the Flower of the Other Shore and headed to the depths of the underworld.
It is said that the fragrance of this flower has magical powers and can evoke the memory of the deceased.
Yang Tuo walked along Huangquan Road, and from time to time, the unexplained ghost appeared in it.
Most of the ghosts seemed to have no consciousness, but they still walked along the road. Only a few ghosts couldn't tell the direction and entered the fog. They were attracted by the flowers on the other side and slowly disappeared deep into the flowers.
Those are all ghosts who died in vain without anyone's guidance. They follow the instinct of the dead and go to the underworld.
It's a pity that he was unlucky and strayed into the depths of the flowers on the other side and got lost in the boundless sea of flowers.
The final result is probably not good!
There may be one or two ghosts who go around in circles and turn to the right path again, but they are rare and they are all people with deep luck.
Yang Tuo walked along Huangquan Road. He didn't know how long it had passed, but his eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw a big river blocking the way. The water of this river was blood-yellow, the waves were rolling, and it kept flowing forward.
Before he even got close, there was a fishy wind blowing in his face, making it difficult for strangers to approach. Yang Tuo looked carefully and saw what kind of river it was.
I saw countless lonely ghosts struggling and wailing among them. Their hideous and terrifying faces seemed to be suffering from some boundless pain.
The palm of the hand is facing the sky, with several dry fingers without any flesh and blood. The ferocious nails are more like sharp blades.
The palms of his hands kept grabbing in all directions, as if trying to grab some life-saving straw so that he could struggle out of the river.
This is the Wangchuan River that runs through the Netherworld. Legend has it that the souls of dead people cannot pass through, so Mo Naihe is also called the "Nai River".
